I suggest you ask the attorney to return the funds, if you believe it's time. It just might be THAT darn easy. Now, if the answer is NO, it might be time to file a complaint with the state bar if the answer isn't plausible.

Depends.

Has probate been closed and the estate distributed completely to the heirs?
